[quote=Anonymous]Why do some dcps elementary schools have class sizes of 26 or 27, and others have 18 or 19? We have seen huge variations that can't just be explained by title 1 status. One school told us they prioritized having a science teacher so that's why they had bigger classes. Another said they had just over 30 kids so they broke it into two classes. Space aside, if they can have smaller class sizes why don't they? That would seem to help all kids. At our school teachers are always complaining they have too many kids. Is that poor planning by the school, or dcps, or just bad luck? Or a choice based on getting more money? Last year our kid started with 25 and then got 3 added before losing 2. And they took in at least 10 kids per grade for the lottery. Why?[/quote]
